What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Underling Green
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Underling Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
